HC Deb 28 July 1965 vol 717 c123W
50. Mr. Heffer

asked the Minister of Transport when he received a copy of the report of the Liverpool City Council's Planning Officer which proposes a rail loop; and what support he will give it.

Mr. Tom Fraser

Copies of this report were received in my Department at the beginning of June. As the report makes clear, more work is needed to show the contribution an outer rail loop would make to the overall transport system on Merseyside. This assessment will be made in the conurbation transportation study now beginning on Merseyside, which has my full support and assistance.
